Notice: This https://www.facebook.com/groups/kuntawikf/ is the official facebook page of the International Kuntaw Federation. The only site and FB for GGM Carlito Lanada Sr. and GM Carlito Lanada Jr. The domain name ‘internationalkuntawfederation.com‘ has been acquired by Canada and Virgina. There is another facebook page /kuntawikf which claims to be the official page, but it is not. It is being run by the false IKF in Canada and Virginia.

The false sites, which includes kuntaw.net, is putting false information out.
As witness below GGM promoted GM William Spence to GM rank in 2012. This photo was taken last week as William Spence visited his father-in-law and teacher as he is a First Generation student and part of the Lanada family.

GM William Spence has been studying Kuntaw since 1978. He was promoted to Black Belt at the 1979 IKF inauguration and was appointed as the IKF secretary. He became the 3rd active member of the IKF at that time.

He faithfully fulfilled that role until he became the President/Executive Director.

With the many changes in mind of the GGM there were others.

Then in 2012 GGM promoted me to GM and I took on being the Executive Director again.

GGM is now in a very fragile state after his stroke. He has become highly susceptible to anything people say. That is why he has also been dooped out of the IKF name and logo:

Registration Number: 4390805

Registration Number: 4297515

Last May of 2015 I finally accepted the rank of Grandmaster from Great Grandmaster Carlito A. Lanada Sr. of Kuntaw after being offered many times since 1996. Some had a problem with it and said it was not true – certificate –

While on my way to the Remy Presas Hall of Fame Foundation 2016 at the Villanova University, after visiting with Guro Jerome Teague in Nashville, and my daughter and grand kids in Concord, N. Carolina, I passed through Wilson, N Carolina and visited with Great Grandmaster Lanada. – picture Great Grandmaster Lanada and myself with certificate –

Also presented Great Grandmaster Lanada with a painting of a picture I took of him while taking pictures of my first Kuntaw book at the school on base at the Subic Naval Station in the Philippines in 1977, and then had it painted by a friend in 1978. – Great Grandmaster with painting –

When first receiving the certificate I asked him about it since he had moved to N. Carolina from San Diego CA, and this is what he responded.

With regards to your promotion to Grandmaster, everything okay, you’re so qualified. Anyone question your credential I will answer them.

Your loyal to the Federation, seniority and support were enough of being Grandmaster to the Kuntaw World Federation.

Kyud Lito A. Lanada Sr.
Founder & Executive Director of the Federation.

Had a long talk with Great Grandmaster Lanada and his wife Kyudai Mely, and dinner – picture Great Grandmaster Lanada and his wife Kyudai Mely – and – dinner – Also Kyud Al and his wife and family. Thanks for helping me get to Great Grandmaster.

So to those that; have a problem deal with it – cause all I can say to you is dilligaf.
It is not the certificate but the knowledge that counts. I have the knowledge do you?

Also tried to visit with Kyudai Alicia and Kyud Bill of Kuntaw legacy, but was told before the trip they would be up north at an event for their daughter, sorry I missed them, maybe next time.
